[QUOTE=MaverickIB;28649102]Exactly. I wasn't referring to his odds of her saying yes, I was referring to the odds of her doing the same thing as his ex (using him).
Girls tend to make the same stupid mistake. They go through a time of being with jerks and whatnot, then apply the logic "Well, if every dude I've been with is a jerk, that means the next guy I get with will be a jerk. All guys must be jerks." When it's not like dudes get together and have meetings about treating a certain girl like shit. Just because a dude ate your dog in your previous relationship doesn't make it any more/less likely that the next guy will do the same thing.
The best comparison is the one pain used, with the coin. You can throw a (for the sake of the analogy, it's a balanced and fair coin) coin up into the air 99 times and it could land on heads every time. However, the odds of it landing on heads or tails in the next throw are still 50/50. Each toss is unique, the odds are the same for each one.[/QUOTE]
however, if you do a statistical hypothesis test, you'll (most certainly) come to the conclusion that a coin which would land on heads 99 times in a row is not a balanced coin
Why's everyone so hung up on the fact you have to ask girls out in person? Of all the girls I know in university, whenever a guy wants to hook up with them they'll almost always just send a text and it would be pretty weird if they did anything else...

I only stress doing it in person because when I say it's okay to do it over a different medium, kids go and do it over MSN and bullshit like that.
In reality, I do most of my asking out over texts.

Ahh fair play. I think the main message is that asking someone out isn't a big deal. I guess someone who isn't willing to ask someone out in a more direct way probably isn't taking it casually enough.

Made me think of peep show.
[QUOTE=Monovfox;28646725]Also, if does not help if I have the nickname "Flirty Freshman"[/QUOTE]
Ha, don't worry about it! Through high school and college I was literally called the "Manwhore". Odd considering I spent most of that time as a virgin... but the point is it likely won't hurt you. In fact, it's just another story you can tell :P
I discovered somewhat to my dismay the girl I like already has a boyfriend.
I shall remain forever alone.

But I haven't done any for ages.
However if they already have a relationship with somebody else I shall hatch a cunning plot instead.
Wait hang out somethings not right.
Her boyfriend is a homosexual, but he has a girlfriend? He classifies himself as a homosexual rather than bisexual. But he has a girlfriend? I don't understand this.

Maybe he's just a gay best friend??
Asked a girl to go out and grab a coffee today, got a no as a response, believed her excuse (she was talking about the same thing earlier this week, just didn't mention when - whether it's really at the same time, I don't care). She didn't give me an alternative date or time, I didn't push for one.
Friendship still intact, no longer curious if she's interested in me. Despite minor feelings of forever alone, everything was alright. No major disasters this time :unsmith:

And this is why everyone should read the OP and trust Maverick. No embarrassing disasters. Worst case scenario, you don't get a date. Not a big deal.

Bitch doesn't put everything aside for the smokey smooth taste of coffee? She aint worth your time

If this is true what course of action must I take?
I would just keep talking to her and I would say something like a boyfriend is bound to eventually come up. I've known chicks in the past who put shit like they're dating/married to a close friend so it seems feasible. I wouldn't ask her on any sort of date until you know whether or not she's taken. Maybe just hang out in a non-intimate setting until then.
Some girl i know had a friend of hers basically talk for her and asked if I would go to a school dance with her in a few months
She seriously has no balls. As unattractive as that is, she's pretty cute and there is bound to be loads more cuties so I think I'm gonna see what I can take out of this. The only downside that it will cost some money...
Fuck, I hate that the girl I like has her locker next to mine, her boyfriend comes around every time in a while and I can't talk to her when he's around.
im depressed.
I dont even know what love feels like.
If you hate her you wouldn't want to talk anyway.

It's a bunch of endorphins and chemicals, remember?

Not having a fucking girlfriend in 17 years make a kinda lonely feeling.
I dont even have any good friends.
[editline]18th March 2011[/editline]
Oh and also, theres only 1 girl in my class(which im not really interested in), but theres pretty much in the whole school.
Wat do, how the heck do i approach a complete stranger?
Also, im shy, and not a charisma bomb.

I don't hate her, what.
I said that I hate being next to her locker since it makes me feel awkward.
